0.9

_Version 0.9:_ Nov 9, 2013

• Updated editor with new Signature Plastics color swatches.
  • ABS colors updated; PBT colors added.
  • Colors were sampled from actual plastic chips using an X-Rite ColorMunki,
    and then converted to sRGB (D65) using the formulas on Bruce Lindbloom's
    website.
  • Colors are accurate is your monitor is calibrated to sRBG!
• More accurate (?) colors for the tops of the keycaps.
  • Previously, the color you entered would be used directly on the top of
    the cap, and then "darkened" for the sides.
  • However, our colors were sampled from the "smooth" part of the chip.
  • Since the sides of a cap are usually smooth, and the top of the cap is
    usually matte (which tends to reflect more light, appearing brighter), it
    made sense to switch things around.
  • Now using the color verbatim on the sides of the cap, and using a
    "lighter" color for the top of the cap.
  • Computing the "lighter" color in LAB space (instead of RGB space).
  • Tweaked the gradients for DSA/DCS, and updated the various samples and
    default colors to work better with the new rendering.
• Added a little "indicator" to the palette to indicate which color is
  being used for the keycap (and label).
  • Also, printing the currently-selected color name beside the color-editor
    fields.
• Added a button to swap the keycap and label colors; should make creating
  some color schemes (e.g., CCnG) really easy.
• Sanitizing any HTML tags entered into key labels.
  • I wasn't so much worried about my site since there's no server-side
    component to attack, I don't use cookies, passwords, or personal-data for
    anything, and XSS rules should prevent anything too egregious.
  • But (in theory, at least) users could be given a link to a "malicious"
    keyboard layout, and then maybe tricked into doing something bad.
• Adding "SPACE" to the profile field will now render spacebars with a
  vertical gradient (so long as the profile is supported). e.g., the profile
  string should read something like this: "DCS SPACE R1" (or similar).
• Stepped keycaps are a little more user-friendly.
  • When first creating a stepped cap, I automatically modify the widths to
    make it obvious what's going on.
  • The secondary width/height fields are no longer force-synced for stepped
    caps.
• Added a link to the GitHub issues page, so users can submit bug reports.
• Added a new sample: Televideo TS-800a
• Fixed the usual smattering of bugs, and no doubt introduced a bunch more...
